Mon, 21 Feb 2011 03:22:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=26707#comment-226019I think a tablet would be great around the house – personal browser for your chair or bed. But as such, I’d want wifi and a good wireless router.

I also think that a tablet is too big, bulky, easy to steal when out and about, and can’t see using it as a phone. So no need for 3G/4G for that usage either.

So I will wait for wifi-only tablets, like Xoom, at half the price. It’s a toy, not critical.

Mon, 21 Feb 2011 02:06:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=26707#comment-225970I’ve had my iPad for 4 months now. It was $500. I never ever missed 3G. Tablets are too big and heavy to be more portable than a small laptop – which is much more useful. They are primarily a coffee table entertainment device for the majority of people – that makes paying for a 3G radio and being locked into a plan a waste of money. And if I need 3G, I can always set up a hotspot on my DroidX.

3G is a waste on an iPad and a waste on a Xoom for most. That is why Verizon and BB are forcing people into it and not giving them a choice.

The mobile computing as a primary source in other countries has been more due to the fact that they NEED mobile computing to get things done. It’s more economical. Our infrastructure in the USA is much different. That’s not to say we aren’t moving toward more need to mobile devices.

Sat, 19 Feb 2011 20:28:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=26707#comment-225113Yep, down %50 in just a few months. I purchased a Droid X on craigslist in like new condition for only $250. It’s not even a year old so still is covered under the 1 year manufacturer warranty, confirmed on Motorola website when I registered the device.

I’m going to continue buying devices like this used and off contract 6 months or so after release. This brings expensive devices down to reasonable cost for me. I can then attain my desired once a year upgrade rather than once every two years and do it all off contract.

When the time comes I will still be able to sell my Droid X easily for $200 or so which will go towards my next purchase. Huge savings this way and no one has you by the balls for two years.

Sat, 19 Feb 2011 20:23:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=26707#comment-225110Well I’ll tell you what… The new dual core phones make my original Droid look archaic, but not so much my Droid X. I don’t think that the Xoom with all it’s grandeur will be made to look archaic so fast. Lets face it, even though the Xoom has way better specs, it’s not like it makes the iPad look archaic. A good device can still hold it’s own for a year or so.

It is fantastic how quickly this field is innovating though. The doors have been blown wide open on mobile computing as a primary computing platform here in the US. This has been the case for a long time in other countries, but we are just starting to get a glimpse of it here in the US.

Sat, 19 Feb 2011 20:18:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=26707#comment-225108Man that sucks for anyone that bought the Galaxy tab. It’s a good device, but there’s just so much good stuff coming out now that blows it away.

I have a Nook Color and am wanting to get rid of it already to get one of these tablets in the next month or two.
